Chevrolet GMC Passenger Side Mirror TRQ MRA05080

Okay. So, what we need to do first is remove our door panel. Grab yourself a nice plastic trim tool. Come right up along here or even up here, and just try to pry this away. You're going to see it's got a couple of little clippy-dos. We're going to move along to this right here. Come down along here with your trim tool, pry up on all this, disconnect all of your wiring. I'm just gonna use the smallest pocket screwdriver. If you press right here, there's a little piton, and then you can pull this down and remove this as well. Let's get this trim piece off of here as well. Now, if you look right up under your handle, you're going to see a bolt that's right there. You can either use a 9/32 or even a 7-millimeter socket, whichever you have.

Next, we're going to get this little door lock bezel out of the way. I'm just going to use my small pocket screwdriver just to kind of get this started. And I'll use my trim tool to pop it right off. That exposes our screw. Get this out of here as well. Now, we're going to remove this little cap right there. You can use anything, small pocket screwdriver, whatever you've got. Pops right off. Underneath there, you're going to see a T20. Remove this screw. There it is. On the far end, we'll go ahead and remove this push clip as well. So, now if you feel along the bottom, you're going to find this bolt right here. Once again, either use a 7-millimeter or 9/32. Get that out of there. Go ahead and grab onto your door panel, lift it straight up, and draw it away from your vehicle. Just use your small pocket screwdriver, come right underneath this area right there, and you should be able to draw the wire out. There we go. Let's go ahead and get this right out of here. That exposes our three mounting nuts. Before we go ahead and remove those though, you need to follow this wiring down and then, of course, remove that as well.

Remove this. Remove it off of there, and off of there. Okay. Let's remove all three of these. Just remember that there isn't going to be much holding the mirror in. So, usually, I'll just kind of take out two and I'll loosen one, go around the other side, hold onto it, and remove the last. There it is. Okay. Now, you're going to see right here where the wires are, there's like some little clippies. You just kind of push those and then the mirror should want to fall right out of there. There we are. We're going to go ahead and put the wiring through the door here. Push that all the way down through. Now, I'm going to carefully put my studs through. I'm being careful not to scratch any of my paint, of course. And then I'll start on one of my nuts. All right. Now that that's started, I'll come around and I'll put on the other two and snug them right up. Awesome.

All this wiring right here, you want to make sure that you tape this up onto there. If you need to remove these, you can just use a little forkey [SP] tool, pop them out, tape it up, and then make sure it's secured and plug it in. All right. So let's get this in here real quick. This is just going to kind of help with noise and whatnot. Let's get the vapor barrier back on here. The next thing I always like to do is to make sure I test what I've done before I go ahead and put the door panel on. Let's go ahead and reconnect all this stuff. Get my black, my blue. This one right here. Make sure it locks in. This one. Perfect. We'll put the key in the on position. Let's go ahead and test that mirror real quick. Side to side, up and down, that's perfect. Left directional, all right. Get this back off of here. Let's get this light reconnected. Slides right in. Coming up here, we want to make sure we grab all this wiring, pull it right through like this. Now, we've got our handle, it's going to come right through this hole.

Now, as we push in the panel, you're going to see you have hooky-dos all coming down along here. You have one here, there, there, and then a couple along the bottom. All those need to fit into their slots that are on the door. Once you have them so they're starting in there, we'll slide them all down. Get our screws here, get this one right here. Nice and short right there. The long one, goes right underneath this handle. Tight. Get this one, put in right back in there. Add our little cover, push that right on there. Get our push clip. Now it's time to put back on our lock. Make sure you've got the red area facing towards the rear of the vehicle. If you were to look at the backside, you're going to see there's a hooky-do here and then there's a couple of little ones right there. This forward end needs to go in first, and then you roll the backside in. There it is. Make sure it's unlocked, of course. Now it's time to get this back on there. If you were to look at this, you're going to see there's a little hooky-do. That needs to slide in there. So, we'll just go right over the handle, put in that forward side first with the hooky-do, and then go ahead and clip this in. Perfect. Put this back on there. Got another hooky-do, goes down, and then, of course, the pitons push right in.

Let's get this back reconnected now. If you look at the backside, you can see, of course, the colors. Black, we're going to skip one and go blue. We'll take that green. Get the big one, slide it right in. Make sure it's locked in. Grab this, put it on. Now, when you put this in, there should be like a little hooky-do here that's going to go under there. And then there should be a little clip that's going to force down in there. Both of ours are broken. So, you're just going to have to imagine I'm going in from the front, sliding it down, making sure my wiring's where it needs to be. There we are. Just retest this real quick. It opens. I'm going to lock it, unlock it. Perfect.

Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. If you recently replaced your mirror glass and you're getting a distorted or a funhouse look in the glass, I'm going to show you what causes that and how to property install the mirror glass.

So on the back of the mirror glass there's all these clips, right here. And those are going to clip all around this ring here, and then there's also these little spacers right here that go in between here. So if you're installing this mirror glass, all those clips have to be pressed all the way on to this retainer, and if you're installing it you're holding the glass like this. When installing it, you push it on from the outside. You're not going to get all those clips installed.

So, when those clips are not completely installed and the mirror is bowed like that. That's what gives you that funhouse look.

All right, with the new mirror you're going to make sure that this gasket is in there if your mirror comes with one. Make sure none of the old gasket is on this mounting bracket here. We want to line this up right with that to make sure that goes on securely and make sure those clips get lined up in there. Make sure the wires are out of the way if your mirror has wires. You're going to take a rag and push in the center of the glass, and you're going to make sure it clips in. And you can push it pretty hard just be careful.

And your mirror should be installed properly and you should not have that funhouse look or that distorted look. You should be good to go.

Take this panel off. Just gonna use a trim tool. Just get behind here, pry it out, and then up this little clip right there, those two little pins. Take this cover off next. Just get under here. And there's some clips. There should be a clip right there, looks like it broke before. And then this slides out. Take this little cover off. You could use either this trim tool or even a small screwdriver. Now, take the trim tool, get under here and just push it out a little bit. Pry it and then it's gonna slide towards the back. There's a pin right there, two little clips right there. And just use a trim tool. Get under here and just pry this out. It's just a push pin, just like that. Now we're gonna take these two bolts out. Just move this lock rod to the back. There's a bolt right here and a bolt right here. Use a 7-millimeter socket. Take that bolt out and this one. The lower one is the longer one. Take this bolt out. Use a T20 socket.

Now, just grab the door panel. You want to slide up and then come out slightly. You don't wanna break any of those clips. And it's gonna be hard to see, but you have to reach to grab the wires. Disconnect the wires for the window switch. And over here, push down, this is like a ratchet retainer. While this is in there there's a little button right there you push and then you ratchet this down and it disconnects that. And one more connector. And these all have push pins or push retainers, push locks. Just push all those down. Over here just pull this light socket out. Just pull it towards the vehicle. And carefully, there's a bulb right there. And pull the door panel off. And take this wire out. You might have to pull the vapor barrier back a little bit. There's some retainers right here and right here. Just use a trim tool. Pop these wires off. Sometimes they break like that. That's okay. And take these nuts off. Use a 10-millimeter socket. When I go to take the last one off, just make sure you support the mirror from falling. It should stay in. Should be retained by those, but just for safety. All right. Grab the mirror from the outside and slide it through. Put the wire through and there we go.

So, the new mirror generally comes black just like that. You could leave it like that if you wanted to or you could swap this piece over from the old one or you could even paint it to match the vehicle. To take this off, what I'm gonna do is take the glass off first. Take a straight blade screwdriver, get behind here. These are clipped in, could always use a pick to try to unhook these. And then this front cover is snapped in, so just take the trim tool. Just pry in here. When you do that, try to unlatch it right there. That one broke a little bit. And just slide it over. For this one, use the screwdriver, pop that off, and just slide over a little more. There is some adhesive tape on here. Same on here. Slide that off. When taking this off, these old tabs are gonna break most likely. You can be careful and try to do it the way we did it. But for the most part, they break. What you can do is use double-sided tape, just clean up this area and re-adhere it to the new one.

With the new mirror, there's these little protectors. Take those off and take the wires, fish them through the hole and slide through. And take the nut, get the nut started. All right. And tighten these up. Snug those up. That's good. Gonna re-secure this wire with wire ties. All right. And re-secure the vapor barrier. Put this insulation back in. And connect the connectors.

That's good. Take this light, slide that back in position. That's good. All right. Line the door panel back up. And you actually have to move this lock rod towards the outside of the door. With that all lined up, then you can push it down. Just make sure it's in all the way around. Put these screws back in. Get that started. Tighten it up. And then put the screw that goes right there. This is the smaller one. Get that one started and I'll get this longer one started. And tighten these up. And push this push pin back there. This cover is gonna go over here. Pop that back on. Pop this cover on, slide it over the handle. Put the front in first, down, and push it in. This lock is gonna go...you have to move the locker out again. Move it to the unlock. Slide this front end first, lock it into place. Make sure it works. And this last piece of trim right here. Line it up, lock it in place.
